Its an interesting perspective.
Since we cannot experience what it is like to be within another individuals perspective, personally I think its hard to make strong conclusions about their perspective.
The concept of gender itself is "made up." Man and woman, masculine and feminine, these are just ideas and they exist on a continuum or spectrum. For that reason, I do not think that we can devalue the other gender ideas.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yes, there are feminine males and masculine men, but at the end of the day the are still either men or women.
In terms of "sex" I agree with that statement.
Well, "social construct" is a meaningless term.
How so?
It has no application in reality.
I'm not sure I would agree with that. Humans use language to create meaning within their reality. Again, biological sex is a thing but gender is just an idea, a concept. Gender has largely remained a binary concept because it has never been questioned by society. However, recently individuals and groups have begun to question the current paradigm and the status quo and as a result, the concept of gender is changing, shifting and evolving. This is only one example of how something can be a social construct, so I personally think that there are plenty of applications for it within reality.
